Hi
I did read in the dev section, that there is a new *.sbf from the Defy+ with Android 2.3.6. which can be flashed on the Defy. I know there is no going backl from that if flashing the full sbf.
As far as i know the Defy with red lens (bayer device) is basically a Defy+.
So what i wanna know...will the camera work with this new sbf...basically, will everything work?
Nope... I don't think the red lens camera is working fine as of now...
Btw... was wondering if we flash the nandroid of the 2.3.6 then can we return to frayo?

hmmm. darn it... and here i was thinking the defy with red lens is quite the same as defy+. Obviously there are differences in the end.
So no experiments for me then...need the camera. hope it will start working at some point. Epsylon3 wrote, that with defy+ kernle some things are working easier and that they would probably jump to that kernel. But without Cam... :-(
Regarding the nandroid...sory..not sure if u can return..i think yes...but no guarantees ton that. U will have to read the thread in dev section from walther79

Someone already flashed this full SBF on a Defy MB525, its working perfectly for him. As long as you have a Red lens, and dont care about downgrading, you can go for it
ah... two different opinions
From what i was reading in the meantime it wont work. At least thats what Walter79 wrote
Anyways...am on CM9 now and thats ok for now.. if i would use the newer Defy+ Kernel+Bootloader that wont work at the moment.

No... the ROM does work on Red lens Defy and Defy+, that's a fact.
What wont work is the Fixed SBF, cause it needs the new Firmware to work... which is only possible to have by flashing the full SBF.
Walter also said he is going to base the new MSGinger in this rom, and make it work on Green lens.
But the rom DOES work on Red Lens defy.
thx again... good to know for sure.... hoping that way the red lens defy will be compatible with any updates from moto for defy+

Hello, could you help me please.
I have a defy regular with green lens and i have flash with defyplus u3_4.5.1-134
I can't donwgrade it with other sbf, always red M and reboot or black screen.
With this sbf i don't have speaker and can't download to the market.
What should i do ?
Thank's a lot for your reply.
mb526

I believe you got yourself in trouble here. You flashed a Defy + Rom on the Original Defy? Well now you can't downgrade. But dont worry because the official Gingerbread works fine but I can't be too sure about the camera..
If you want the link to the official Motorola 2.3.4 SBF just let me know
Flash another sbf - the one that's meant for yours!

I have tried a lot of these sbf but there's only the defyplus u3_4.5.1-134 whose boot my defy.
For all other sbf = black screen.
Sorry for translation...

That's a 2.2.1 sbf. He is on 2.3 full sbf with no downgrade so he can't use
that.
ok , i don't know why but most of function are ok.
Just the camera doesn't work : black screen.
Is there a issue for green lens for u3.4.5.1-134 ?
Thanks.

Arrrggggggghhhhh
With green lens defy you are not supposed to flash defy+ Roms and kernels. Because the green lens camera is not compatible with any Motorola gingerbread Rom.
You can use greenbread mod I think. Search greenbread mod by walter79 on xda. Fingers crossed.

Hey guys,
My wife was complaning about her Defy being slow so i dediced to take a look and install a custom rom. As a SGS 2 user, i'm very confused with Defy
My wife has;
MB525 (i assume this is Defy not Defy+) with Android 2.2.1 and Green Lens
I've read lots of topics and understood the rooting process, etc. but my biggest confusion is with the kernel and roms. I'm seeing froyo and GB kernel, what is the difference between them? Which kernel should i use for my Defy? The roms are kernel specific? If i have froyo or GB kernel, i can't use some roms?
And lastly, which roms you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance!
first of all Motorola sucks!!!
defy's bootloader is locked..so no custom kernel...hence we use official kernels..
as u know dere r 2 kernels..ICS and GB kernel..defy with green lens can use only froyo kernel..if u flash a GB kernel on defy with green lens then u wont have camera(dere is a patch)..
and i think all roms support froyo kernel..so u shouldn't be having any problem..
new defy with red lens and defy+ can run gb kernel..dere isnt much difference in performance between gb and froyo kernel but gb kernel give better battery life..thats the only visible difference..
Go through guides and threads and i m sure u will understand better..
try many roms..start with CM7..then jump to CM9..if u get bored then do try WajkMIUI..they look pretty good
Welcome to the world of Locked Bootloader
The ROM I would recommend
I have exactly the same phone as you have. The best ROM would be:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654
Its Android version 2.3.7
Its from Quarx and its fast, stable and give long battery up time. You can trust it 100%.
ICS is under development.
Please hit the Thanks button if this was useful.
The defy+ is basically the defy with a better battery, 100% red lenses and official gingerbread. Therefor the kernel for the defy+ is called the gingerbread kernel.
In this kernel there it's only support for the red lens module. So you can't use your cam on this kernel.
(flashing this kernel is done best from recovery as you have no danger of not ably to go back).
A ROM made for one kernel can't be used on an other.
The other thing is the battery. Most defy+ roms use the battery files of the defy+. I think the builds from epsy use tyre defy files (he doesn't have a defy+) although this just needs a patch.

You mean there is a patch to make the camera work with a gb kernel and green lens defy? I can't find any...
tried quarx pre alpha its quite interesting , is there any chance that eppy will build cm10 for green lense defy ?,he has done a great work on cm9 not to forget
Once the ROM has been compiled for atleast one of the defys without major glitches, i think its more than possible that JB will be available for green lensed defy.....Its always good to remain optimistic anyway!
ooops, didnt read carefully
Before i gave it to service center, i had green lense and froyo kernel for sure and flashed CM7, CM9, Miui, Wiui, Popcorn,etc.
When they returned me the said we had to change motherboard, now it is of defy+ and the sbf tha they flashed is "4.5.1-134-DFP-1321 - retail-asia full Blur multilanguage(2.3.6)", So now can i install CM9-Defy+(Quarx) without any kind of problem, and do i need flash battery_fix from auris?
You don't need battery fix for Defy+ on Quarx's build.

Did the service people change the device to Defy+ entirely, like swap the phone? Replacing the motherboard does nothing except fix whatever problem you had, as the motherboard is the same. The camera and battery differentiate between green lense, red lense and defy+. Use this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116694 to see whether you have red lense of green lense now. Also, go into your settings and see whether it says MB525 or MB526, if you have MB525 find out whether red or green, if you have MB526 you can flash the quarx defy+ rom without any addons (no battery fix or kernel).
Hope this helped, give thanks! :laugh:

they dint replaced the phone, just said "We have to replace motherboard and screen." but I guess I can flash quarx defy+ build because under setting it says mb526. As far as thing about lens is concerned I dint find any "cameracommon" or "jordancamera" kind of match in catlog.

Guys, I have one more question to ask, I think though it's defy+ sbf that the guy from service center has flashed, still when I install "home switcher" it says u have a froyo device. As much I knw about sbfs kernel is included in sbf itself. Then why so says it's a froyo device?
I m asking so many questions I knw, but I don't want any bootloops while flashing cm9.
I hate bootloops.

I'm not sure why home switcher says its froyo. Some of the earlier bl6 build behaved as froyo but that was 2.3.4 builds.
IMO your device is a defy+ now & gb ROMs should work flawless..
Also one more thing.. Is Your camera working fine??

Hello, a few hours ago accidentally delete the sbf file to flash, I do not remember if it was or nordic cee, I have a red lens defy btw, I read in other threads that could flash a sbf of defyplus, defy one, but not sure without asking here, I just need someone to recommend me which one to use as the basis for the latest builds of CM10 Quarx, thanks in advance.

You can flash file sbf BL7 ( as CEE BL7 MB526 < google search > ) for this case
